Title: Sweet Honey Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng Madu)
Ingredients:
- 250 grams chicken breast or thigh
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red chili pepper, sliced
- Water, as needed
- Flour, for coating
- Cooking oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Begin by finely grating one clove of garlic and mixing it with the cleaned chicken. Add the black pepper and stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned. Let the mixture marinate for at least 20 minutes, though longer if you have the time.
-
Coat the marinated chicken pieces in flour, ensuring they are well-covered. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
-
In a separate pan, finely chop the remaining garlic and sauté it until fragrant. Add the sliced red chili pepper and continue to sauté briefly.
-
Stir in the tomato sauce, chili sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Mix well and add a small amount of water if needed to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
-
Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce and toss to coat them thoroughly, ensuring each piece is well-covered with the sauce. Cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish. Serve hot and enjoy!
